As I've mentioned before, the principal reason for this is to make  
sure you don't report errors that have long since been fixed. Also,  
upon release, I want all betas to disappear so that when someone tells  
me the app does something wrong, I can be sure it's not an old beta.

I have changed the app so that it continues after displaying the  
"expired" message.
